@te4s80txmt The inventor did that on an episode of Time Warp.

Sawstop excluded macduff is impressed, macduff's innovative technology (The Original Jimmy Jig) the other alternate
mated to older table saws has retro-fitted that technology to be as save as it can ever be,
it will not wreck the blade or stop the saws operational function.
All macduff's ideally automatic anti-kick back devices are placed up front over-head of the blade or
cutting tool on a
stationary fence, (a macduff first) attaches to a bracket with a suspended rod from the stationary fence

which will never deviate from the parallel.
This portable light weight technology cuts sheet material to 4ft. on center requiring no large
permanently mounted side or out-feed extension tables
World wide there are hundreds of thousands of table saws with the old dangerous technology out there. Sawstop at
this time cannot retro-fit these saws. Buy new not necessarily, retro-fit available yes, but don't be
complacent and keep your wits about ye, slainte mhath macduff

balanced trunions, that's all I needed to hear.

Comparison: Cabinet saw with 10" blade, 220V 3HP motor, and 50" fence:
Jet Xacta Saw: around $1700 retail.
SawStop: around $3100 retail. Replacement SS brake cartridge: $60 each Replacement Blade: $60 to $120 each If the bypass is on, it's not any safer.

You should be able to, using the safety bypass. With the safety deactivated it operates like a regular cabinet saw, allowing the user to cut conductive materials. Just remember to turn the safety system back on when you're done.
